Today’s Lousy Jobs Report and the Scourge of Inequality


robertreich:

The U.S. economy created a measly 74,000 new jobs in December, and a smaller percentage of working-age Americans is now employed than at any time in the last three decades (before women surged into the workforce).

What does this have to do with the fact that median household incomes continue…

What senseless, empty hogwash when he is so intent on making life harder under his government cutting out any benefits we have fought for over the years.
So I say “thank you God of Politics. You have given us a leader to show us that in pain there is gain – for a certain…
